Spring Into Easter (PTU)

This tutorial was written by me on April 9th, 2011 and is the result of my own ideas. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental and unintentional.

PSP version used: X2, but should work in other versions.

This tutorial was written assuming you have a good working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies Needed

Scrap kit of choice: I used a gorgeous kit called "Spring Into Easter" by Designed By Stina. Gorgeous elements and beautiful papers, I love this kit! Visit Stina's blog HERE for store links. Thanks so much Stina!

Tube of choice: I'm using the gorgeous art of Barbara Jensen. If you wish to use the same tube, you must purchase a license from Barb's store HERE.

From the kit, open Frame03 and resize 80%. Copy and paste as a new layer. Using the freehand selection tool, draw a selection around the inside of the frame. Open a paper of choice, resize 80%. Copy and paste as a new layer, move beneath the frame. Invert the selection and tap delete. Deselect.

Open the tube and resize 95%. Copy and paste as a new layer, duplicate and move the duplicate below the frame. Using the eraser, remove the parts of the original tube (above the frame) that cover the frame at the bottom. Drop shadow the lower tube (copy) only.

Add your elements, I used:

Basket02: resize 40%

Birdhouse: resize 85%

Chick_Egg01: resize 25%

Birds 01 & 02: resize each 12%

Flowers01: resize 40%; duplicate and mirror

Butterfly 02, 03 & 04: resize each 10%

Eggs_flowers02: resize 20%, then 90%

Eggs04: resize 20%

HangingEggs: resize 40%, erase the extra at the top

Bunny01: resize 30%, then 90%

SpringScatter02: resize 85%; duplicate and mirror

Add drop shadow to your frame and all elements. Hide the background layer and merge visible. Unhide and activate the background layer, copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer. Apply the mask and merge the mask group. Use the raster deform tool to adjust size and placement.

Crop and resize your tag, add your name and all applicable copyright and license information. Save as a png or jpeg and you're finished! I hope you enjoy your new tag!

About Me

My name is Carol and I live in a small community north of Toronto. I've been married for 35 years to the love of my life and we have two amazing kids who are now adults. We are proud grandparents to two terrific boys - Lincoln and Ethan.
I've been playing with PSP for almost 20 years now and I still love it. It's a terrific creative outlet and my way of de-stressing after a long day. I started writing PSP tutorials because I thought it would be a fun and interesting challenge. I'd love to hear from you if you decide to give them a try! I always welcome comments, so please say hi if you stop by and try one of my tuts by either posting in the comment section of the tut, or by messaging me on Facebook (link below). It lets me know people are actually doing them. ;)! Thanks for stopping by!
